I’m not up for a scriptural game of badminton. Many, many verses saying for us to forgive others when they sin against us. The Lords prayer says it and nowhere, in many other verses, is there a caveat saying they must ask for forgiveness. It talks about repenting (I’m sure you are referring to Luke 17:3-4), but then I ask you, does Jesus contradict that by saying in Luke 23:34, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Is there repentance in that scripture?
There are no contradictions, just wrong interpretations. I believe your statement is incorrect by what I have read and learned.
“It talks about repenting (I’m sure you are referring to Luke 17:3-)”
Yep. “IF he repents you must forgive him.” That’s a conditional statement.
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Is there repentance in that scripture?”
Jesus asked God to forgive them. Notice he didnt say “Father, I forgive them.”
So there’s no contradiction there at all.
